Black Silicone vs. Clear?

happyclam · 08/10/2008, 04:02 PM

Does anyone use black instead of clear silicone on there aquariums? A pic? Reasons why? I was just wondering as I am setting up a new aquarium and was wondering if I should pay the extra for black silicone. Does it make the aquarium look more classy, sleek?

what brand silicone are you planning on using? ive used black many times and clear many times. make sure if you are buying black it doesnt contain and of the harmfull additves.... CRL makes a very good clear "Aquarium Silicone" and they also make a black silicone witch is safe for a fish tank. both are going to be just as strong.....
